Gregonian salamander


The Gregonian salamander was a salamander species originating from the Gregonia system within the Expansion Region, notable for its resistance to fire. During 1 ABY, the Shi'ido geneticist known as Mammon Hoole tried to ensnare the bounty hunter Boba Fett within the engine compartment of his starship, the Shroud. However, Fett launched a wrist rocket from the wrist rocket launcher integrated into his suit's systems, targeting the ship's ion drive, which resulted in a large blast. Faced with the resulting conflagration, Hoole shape-shifted and took the form of a Gregonian salamander. Later, Hoole explained to Zak Arranda, his adopted son, that transforming into a Gregonian salamander was the only thing that saved him from death due to the intense heat.

Behind the scenes

The existence of Gregorian salamanders was first brought up in Galaxy of Fear: The Hunger, a 1998 novel written by John Whitman, which served as the concluding book in the Star Wars: Galaxy of Fear series, the twelfth of the series.
